by the action of the deianged Vayu. Fever, a burning
sensation (of the body), thirst, perspiration, a pungent
taste in the mouth and yellowness of the complexion,
urine and the eyes are the features which are due to the
retention of the injected Sneha in the bowels over-
whelmed by the action of the deranged Pitta. Water-
brash, a sweet taste in the mouth, heaviness of the limbs,
vomiting, difficult breathing, catarrhal fever (Sita-Jvara)
and an aversion to food are the indications due to the
retention of the injected Sneha in the bowels over-
powered by the action of the deranged Kapha. In these
cases, applications of (Sneha) Vastis and such other
remedial measures as are soothing to the Dosha or
Doshas (giving rise to the retention of the Sneha in the
bowels) should be adopted wiih due regard to the nature
and intensity of each. 28-29.
Cramps (Sula) and heaviness in the stomach
(Amas'aya), suppression of the Vayu (flatus), affec-
tion of the heart, a bad taste in the mouth, difficult
respiration, epileptic fits, vertigo and an aversion to
food are the symptoms which attend a retention of
the Sneha in the bowels owing to the pressure of food
matter carried down into the abdomen of a person who
has been so treated after a heavy meal, and they should
be remedied first by fasting and then by appetising
measures. 30.
A languid feeling in the limbs attended with a dis-
tension of the abdomen, colic (S'ula), difficult breathing
and a sense of heaviness in the intestines mark the
retention of the injected Sneha surcharged with the
fcecal matter of a person previously uncleansed by
proper remedies. The remedy in such cases consists
in the application of Niruha-vastis as well as Sneha-
vastis wiih the admixturL- (»f kecn-potencied drugs. 31.
